    Absolutely outstanding... better clean up my musket now so it can be up to standard, though not sure it will ever be as good as these. What a really talented guy.

    These guns will never be obsolete and are as important to American culture and values as are our AR15 in M4 configuration and will be alongside the laser particle ray guns to come. Thank You Mr. Miller, I long to own something of your creation one day.

    And to think that there is a congressman who wants to ban these because he thinks that they can be used with silencers and a 50 BMG cartridge and shoot down air liners when a reporter told him that they are single shots he replied well if we can keep that one shot from being fired then we would save one life wouldn't we!

    How much would you charge for a .54 cal flintlock virginia style long rifle made out of tigerstripe maple with a 42 inch rice or colerain barrel?

  • @christopherbennett4559

    I am seriously thinking about getting one built what caliber would you recommend for squirrel to deer I am looking at 45 or 50. I would love to have a 32 and 54 but only can afford one🤔

    • @kieranr3343
      @kieranr3343 Před 7 lety
